At the Chicago Board of Trade, wheat traded at an all-time high of $12 per bushel, surging more than 25% after Kazakhstan announced it would impose export tariffs to reduce exports. Kazak consumer prices for wheat rose more than 20% in 2007.
Wheat reserves are expected to fall to 109 million bushels, the lowest figures since the 1970s. Spring wheat rose to more than $24 per bushel, while ethanol corn use is expected to increase by 28% to 4.1 million bushels, pushing corn futures for the May contract to $5.53 a bushel.
